    wood boat bottom painting with Silicone

    Look at Intersleek 1100SR. It may be updated by now under a different name. My diver says it's the best bottom paint he's ever seen. Yes, a barnacle will stick to it, but he says you can flick it off with your finger and no husk is left behind without scrubbing (unlike most other bottom...

    Building New Pilothouse Doors for a Bluewater Trawler

    Lehman 120 Piston slap

    Slight hi-jack of the thread with a similar issue. I picked up a 40' Bluewater Trawler in December for next to nothing. Motor runs, but not being very tuned into the noises of the Lehman 120 I didn't notice "the knock." I did replace all the heat exchangers, oil lines, updated raw water pump...
